Wonderful ‘Smeared Skies’ Images by Matt Molloy

These beautiful photos of the sky were designed by putting pictures of the same landscape together by Photographer Matt Molloy. Usually picture putting is used either to make HDR pictures or to improve level of area of the photographic camera or a time-lapse video clip. Mr Molloy used the same strategy, at the same time in a different way, to generate extra common pictures of the sky that looks like smudges or sweep swings.
Matt Molloy, describes his methods to PetaPixel:
To make these ‘photo stacks’, I first shoot a timelapse, taking a photo every 5 seconds or so. (Settings differ depending on the subject and lighting conditions). I then merge several photos into one image using Photoshop. I start with the first image from the timelapse as a normal photo and then blend the rest of them with the ‘lighten’ blending mode. This only adds things that are brighter than what was in the first photo, and so you can see things like the paths of stars as they move across the sky. (The movement of the stars is actually from the earth’s rotation). 
I think it’s an interesting way to observe time. You can see a time frame of several hours in one image, something our eyes can’t do naturally.

Ice Cavern In Skaftafell, Iceland

Ice caverns are short-term components that appear at the advantage of snow. They look incredibly wonderful from the within. This particular cave is on the freezing lagoon of the Svínafellsjökull glacier in Skaftafell, Iceland. The hundreds of years old ice arriving down the runs of Öræfajökull via Svínafellsjökull glacier has metamorphosed into extremely condensed glacier ice that contains almost no air pockets. The deficiency of air indicates that it takes up almost all noticeable mild, apart from the azure portion which is then noticeable to the undressed eye. However, this azure ice can be seen only under certain conditions.
